Ford Recalls, Complaints & Safety Data
NHTSA safety recalls, owner-reported complaints and investigations, by model and model year · 1965–2027
Data refreshed
Owner complaintsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received. This total counts a complaint once for each Ford model year it names.
290,388
Safety recallsDistinct NHTSA recall campaigns covering at least one Ford model year. One campaign can cover several models and many model years; it is counted once here.
1,822
InvestigationsNHTSA opens an investigation to examine whether a safety defect may exist. An open investigation is not a determination that a defect exists, and many investigations close without a recall. Investigations can, however, lead to one.
651
Models coveredModels with at least one model year that has enough NHTSA data to publish.
